WINDING-DRUM FOR THREADS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 4, 1913.

Original application filed February 18, 1911, Serial No. 609,310. Divided and this application filed March 25, 1912. Serial No. 685,905.

tain new and useful Improvements in Wind-- ing-Drums for Threads, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to an improvement in winding drums described in my application, Serial No. 609,310, Feb. 18, 1.911, of which the present application is a division, on which drum a thread is automatically and uninterruptedly fed laterally, the thread being led to the drum at one end always in the same plane, then running around it in a spiral line, and, finally, at the other end of the drumrunning ofi' of it always in the same plane. Thesurface of the winding drum is made up oftwo groups of segments or rods, which are moved radially and axially of the drum, and which thereby act to alternately grasp the woundup thread and shift the several convolutions thereof together side-by-side longitudinally of the drum, so that the thread-runs con: tinuously off one end of the drum as set forth above. The axial movement of the segments or rods is efi'ected in a novel manner by means ofspecial guiding pins attached thereto, running in a guide plate having special peripheral curved grooves therein.

In the accompanying drawings a construction of the thread-winding drum is illustrated by way of example.

Figures 1 and 2 show a front elevation, and a top plan view, respectively, of the apparatus, while Figs. 3 to 7 illustrate details in elevation and section. Fig. 3 shows the guide-plate for effecting the axial movement; Fig. 4 shows the*- arrangement ofthe curved grooves of said plate. Fig. 5 shows, on an enlarged scale, the engagement of one of the drum rods in the grooves in the two adjacent guide-plates, by -means of which the axial and radial movements of the rods are effected. Fig. 6 shows one of the guide disks provided with radial guide-slots. Fig.

curves therein.

The. rods of both groups of rods aremoved in the grooves of the end guide-plates or disks n, by means of disks having guide grooves 10 with radially extending curves '0 therein in such a manner that when the radial movement of one group of rods is completed, the rods of the other group are in their inner position ready to begin their radial movement. The guide-plates 79 are provlded with grooves having radially extending curves for this purpose. For accomplishing the axial movement of the drum rods, special diskso (Figs. 3 to 5) are attached to the guide disks p. The disks 0 are provided on their circumference with a curved groove 70, in which are guided pins 9 attached to the drum rods. ,By the arrangement of a special guide-disk 0 for producing the axial movement of the rods wear.

segments, and means for moving each group of said rods radially and axially of the drum whereby each group alternately grasps the wound-up thread, shifts it axially and releases it.

2. A winding drum for threads, comprising -two circumferential groups of rods or segments, means for preventing turning of said rods, and guide-disks having curved grooves therein for moving said rods radialli and axially of the drum, whereby each group alternately grasps the wound-up thread, shifts it axially and releases it.

3. A winding drum for threads, comprising two circumferential groups of rods or segments, radial guides, and. means upon said rods engaging said guides for preventing turning of said rods, and guide disks having curved grooves therein for moving said rods radially and axially of the drum, whereby each group alternately grasps the wound-up thread, shifts it axially and releases it. i

4. A winding drumfor threads, comprising two circumferential groups of-rods or segments, guide disks having curved grooves therein for moving said rods radially and axially of the diium, whereby each group alternately grasps the wound-up thread,

shifts it axially and releases it, said guide disks for producing the axial movement of said rods having curved peripheral grooves therein and said rods having pins engaging in said peripheral grooves.

5. A winding drum for threads, comprising two circumferential groups of rods or segments, guide disks n, p and 0 having curved grooves therein for moving said rods radially and axially of the drum, whereby each group alternately grasps the wound-up thread, shifts it axially and releases it, said guide disks 0 for producing the axial movement of said rods having curved peripheral grooves therein and said rods having pins .9 engaging in said peripheral grooves.
